Any plan to add support of GM_getTab/GM_saveTab/GM_getTabs?

[duhd1993]

What is the problem?

GM_getTab/GM_saveTab/GM_getTabs not supported. They are exclusive to Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey has more users for now. Many scripts are written with Tampermonkey in mind. Without support of these APIs, many scripts cannot run on violentmonkey.

How to reproduce it?

1. Any userscript using these APIs does not work

What is the expected result?

userscript works properly. maximum compatibility with Tampermonkey.

What is the actual result?

What is the result in the upcoming release?

Environment

• Browser: Chromium
• Browser version:86
• Violentmonkey version: 2.12.7
• OS:macos

I'm skeptical about this. AFAIK There's only a few scripts that use this feature and it can be approximated by GM_setValue + gm_addValueChangeListener anyway even though it's not ideal.

There's just 24 scripts on greasyfork that use GM_getTab so we won't implement it.
